Isonitrosobenzoylacetone is particularly interesting, as the isonitroso group has two potentially coordinating sites which can compete with the cabonyl groups in forming bonds with the metal ions. In this paper tris(isonitrosobenzoylacetonato)cobalt(Ⅲ) and bis(isonitrosobenzoylacetonato)palladium(Ⅱ) have been prepared, and their structures have been investigated. Spectroscopic studies lead to the conclusion that the both complexes do not contain an OH group in the chelated five-membered ring structure in which the ligand coordinates to metal through oxygen of the acetyl group and nitrogen of the isonitroso group. The coordination manner of this ligand is similar to that of isonitrosobenzoylacetone obtained by Patel and Haldar.
